From www.abc.net.au: Alan Kohler discusses how the Trump presidency signals a need for Australia to reassess its foreign policy and defence strategy in light of the changing nature of US democracy.

Concerns over Trump and Elon Musk’s control over US institutions and their revolutionary approach challenges traditional democratic safeguards.

Kohler argues that while the stability of the US government may be in jeopardy, Australia’s democratic resilience could prevent similar upheaval.
